Celtic have activated a clause in their loan deal for Odsonne Edouard (20) with Paris Saint-Germain to sign the player on a four-year permanent contract. The deal will cost the club an initial £4.5m but the add-ons which follow will soon make the deal the club’s highest transfer fee paid.
To give some perspective, Celtic last broke their transfer fee record with the £6m purchase of Neil Lennon in 2000.
Watching Odsonne develop during his loan period has been an education. Brendan Rodgers put Moussa Dembele and Leigh Griffiths on the bench to allow Odsonne the game time he needed to grow. His early-season rustiness was history by March, when he came off the bench when Celtic were down to 10 men at Ibrox, brushed aside what defences there was, to score a memorable winner.
The last player to match our record transfer fee was John Hartson in 2001. Like John then, Odsonne is third choice striker, so the work does not stop here.
Great business, well done all concerned.

Peru have been really unlucky so far.
Deserve an equaliser.

I was trying to tempt fate. Failed miserably.
DD, I like to think of God having a sense of humour. And Jesus is a Tim.

I hope I’m right.
Peru the better team , in my opinion
I don’t suppose the Peru fans are singing ‘It’s just like watching Clydebank’ , but they should be, really.

Bought tickets today for Richard Ashcroft/Liam Gallagher show at Old Trafford Cricket Ground on 18 August. Hope they are shining Belfast tonight in Ormeau Park.

Wow, using a young boys grief over the death of his father to promote a particular religion on here…I thought we were better than that….not saying it wasn’t powerful….but it’s promotion on our site is against its ethos
Official awsome welcome to our record signing Odsonne….great signing ?
Jamesgang….agreed about VAR…however these world cup refs have a lot to learn….a penalty that was…not called….a penalty that wasn’t called….still amateur stuff
Hope everyone is well

I didn’t feel the video was promoting a religion.
But at a time when the leader of the world’s most powerful nation is having children ripped from their parents’ arms, I thought the solace shown in the opposite direction was inspiring.

As with most occupations, if you can waffle and have friends in high places, you’ll ‘get on’.
I recall Sally’s first sortie on the TV. He was commentating on a junior cup final and was a quivering bumbling talking Heid. Now he’s just full of himself and still a talking Heid.
Far too many women in positions of power nowadays.
In the 80’s there was only Maggie Thatcher marauding and laying waste to the land, now there seems to hundreds ruining everything.
HH.
So the former third best manager in the first division is giving advice to World Cup managers. I see he clammed up when his co commentator mentioned court cased
Is that pitch running a bit slow?

BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS.
At Wimbledon this year women are getting the same money as men, The women play up to three sets, and men have to play up to five sets, I wouldn’t say that was equal rights for men.
Never really thought about it before Bobby M, until a work colleague said to me.
I just so happen to agree now.
Finally recovered from last week chief – fell out of the Rock about half 12 that night, mad Celtic night.
Some drink consumed Bobby M – See yer Da burying those pints of Guinness, absolutely incredible.
